Packers VP Brandt resigns

Packers vice president Andrew Brandt, who was a leading in-house candidate for the President / CEO job that went to Mark Murphy, is leaving the team.

Brandt, who has been the team's chief contract negotiator and salary cap manager since 1999, is going to pursue other opportunities.

"After nine years of having the privilege of working for the Green Bay Packers and its incredible fan base, I have decided it is time to move on to pursue other opportunities, goals and challenges," Brandt said in a statement issued by the teams.

"I have hopefully contributed in a small way to the success of this franchise over the years and am certain there is much more success ahead. I will cherish my time working for this unique organization and will forever have fond memories of the people, the players and the fans of Packer Nation."

Packers general manager Ted Thompson said, "With regard to contract negotiations and salary cap management, we currently have people in place internally to effectively operate in this area until we have a new person to fill this role."

Green Bay plays at Philadelphia on Monday Night Football (ESPN) at 7:30 p.m. The Packers are healthier, Aaron Rodgers is still good, they sort of might have a running game and they`e playing desperate. Here are some reasons why they will win tonight.

Here`s a eulogy. I mean, here`s everything you need to know, or just forgot or missed because who cares, what`s the point of watching, cheering for Green Bay or even living anymore? Plus all kinds of other wacky whatnots, from the Packers` Week 11 loss to Washington.

In the closing minutes of the Packers` latest loss Sunday night, Washington wide receiver Pierre Garcon added insult to Green Bay`s very real injury, displaying his feelings of exultation in his team`s win by absolutely murdering a foam cheesehead on the sideline.

Another bombshell was dropped on Aaron Rodgers` personal life, according to a Friday story on Bleacher Report. Reportedly, Rodgers hasn`t spoken to his immediate family in two years, has essentially no relationship with any of them and has completely changed as a person.

It`s probably a pretty small overlap in the Venn diagram circles of professional football players and high fantasy films, but those unlikely sets did indeed meet Wednesday, with the exchange of some fun "Lord of the Rings" references about Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers have again addressed their dire running back situation, and they hope this time it works out. Green Bay claimed running back Christine Michael off waivers from Seattle and placed running Don Jackson on injured reserve, with the hope of improving their depleted backfield.

Milwaukee native Marwin Evans is a late bloomer who hits hard. The Packers, who have a depleted and deficient defensive backfield and are under .500 this late in a season for the first time since 2008, could really use a bloom - and a bang. It could be Evans` time now in the Green Bay secondary.
